Lee Instantly Slimming Jeans

So I got an email with rave reviews about these jeans. 

http://www.lee.com/store/LEE_STORE_US/en_US/product/women/jeans/slender-secret-5-pocket-jean.html 

The ad said that these will instantly slim you and you will never have to ask "do these jeans make me look fat?" again. 

IDK, call me a skeptic but can these jeans make you look instantly slim?  I I were to purchase a pair of these and wear them will they make me look 20 lbs slimmer?

Has anyone tried these jeans?  If so, do they in fact work miracles?

Re: Lee Instantly Slimming Jeans

  • This is possibly flameful, but I think they look like Mom Jeans in the commercials, hardcore.  Even more so in real life (the secretaries at my job wear them).

    They may be instantly slimming, but even in the commercials they look like MJs.  So I figure if a MODEL looks like that in them, and that's what they chose to put on TV (and therefore is presumably the most flattering shot) there's no freaking way I will look good in them.

  • IMO these don't seem any more slimming than any other pair of jeans I've owned or have seen. Especially if by instantly slimming they mean wearing them up to your bra because they only fit around the tiniest part of your waist a la most misses jeans.

    Yes

    They say they're super stretchy, though.  I wonder if it's spanx style slimming or something?

  • I don't remember, but I think they might have support/lifting panels with spandex and whatnot.  Some jeans have that.

    Which totally creeps me out.  I get that sometimes I have to wear Spanx to hold in all the jiggles, but jeans (to me) are the most comfortable things on earth besides jammie pants.  I don't feel they should have panels and spandex to slim you.  Just buy jeans that fit and flatter.  Easier said than done, but we all have our "my asss looks hot in these" jeans, right?

    If you want spandex in your pants people should just wear jeggings.

    I agree.  And personally I think the cut of these jeans is really unflattering, so you're better off getting a flattering pair of jeans without control panels.  I guess if they were comfortable, flattering, AND had control panels it would make sense?

  • Sorry for the late reply, but I think I was trying these jeans on as this post was being written.  Sometime this week I was killing time by walking through JCP on  my lunch hour.  Anyway I figured what the heck I'll try on those jeans.  If they really make a difference that would be great!

    I found the cutest pair (they were straight leg and usually that cut is flattering for me).  I put them on and they were HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

     I looked like a moose and oddly enough, my fat was oozing out the top.  They weren't tight and I am not an obese person but I do have a little extra padding. It just redistributed it up towards my bra. 

    So that's my commentary on them.
